Welcome to the World!

Congratulations to Amy and her husband, Alex, who had a beautiful baby boy yesterday afternoon! No name has been announced yet (I hear there’s been just a few discussions so far…) but mom and baby are both doing great.

Here’s a couple of pics of the darling new addition–and how awesome does Amy look?!?!:

I’ve been waiting to get Amy a present until I knew what she was having–it was seriously driving her crazy that she didn’t find out the sex of this child! I think by the time you get to your third, it’s even more fun to get presents. Here are a few of my favorite baby gifts.

Blabla Kids is one of my favorite vendors for kids’ accessories. My son and daughter constantly carry around these two monkeys:

And I used this jungle mobile in my first nursery:

A friend bought me these aden + anais muslin blankets when I had my second child and they were my most favorite thing! Especially perfect for a summer baby because they’re so light, they’re big enough that they can be used for swaddling, covering the stroller from sun and covering yourself up when nursing.

Speaking of great blankets, when it comes to baby number three, there’s nothing better than giving a personalized gift. These Matouk Chatham blankets can be monogrammed with the new baby’s initials:

The other thing to consider when it’s not someone’s first baby, is that a lot of the things they used for their other kids are probably looking a little ragged, so it’s always a good option to replenish their staples.

For those of us in cooler climates, these sleep sacks are the perfect alternative to blankets and this organic version is one of my favorites:

Amy will continue to do a couple of posts a week as her time allows, but we’ll also be bringing in a few guest bloggers over the next couple of months to offer different perspectives while Amy spends some time with the new baby. Congratulations to Amy!
